      ##### Method one #####
      # Works just great, but uses something scary like eval
      # self.class.class_eval {attr_accessor attribute_name}
      # self.instance_variable_set("@#{attribute_name}", attribute_value)

      ##### Method two #####
      # Manually creates methods for both getter and setter and then

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)
